Craig,
This is a very intriguing image. Since I cannot translate the words I am most drawn to the image of the guy behind the window. The sharpness is good and so is the exposure. I'd be tempted to crop this down to just the guy and the window. His expression draws me in! Posted: 04/02/2026 19:00:37

I really liked the monochrome "documentary" look of this interesting image.I'm glad you included the "carnie" ticket sign.Personally,I liked the original crop including the ticket taker and inclusion of the decorative carvings below.I would clone out the window with the reflection on the Lt. because I think it takes some attention from the ticket taker.

The contemplative expression on the ticket taker makes for a very interesting environmental portrait. I'm not sure that the sides add much to the photo. As David suggested you may want to try cropping in closer. Posted: 04/10/2026 03:05:42

What a fascinating image. I think having it in monochrome makes it just that more striking. I like the image as is but I do have to agree with David and Alan and think that cropping it down to the contemplative ticket taker would more intriguing. Posted: 04/12/2026 13:54:39

This is a lovely image. At first I thought of a tighter crop but then as I looked a the photo I like the way it as it. The B & W works well. Posted: 04/13/2026 15:37:32
